Still using Dropbox and still loving it...
Linked up my Laptop and Desktop, vista 32 and 64, and everything is fine. Folders show up in explorer. Haven't worked on documents as of yet but I will.
I dragged and dropped well over 200 files from my laptop all at once and it uploaded just fine. was able to view the files on the web immediately. I'm sure with a limited closed beta, there's not much traffic so everything should work fast on the web...we'll see if that holds up once the beta goes public...
Ran into a problem with my Company's firewall and that's understandable...I can use the Web UI at work, no big deal...
That being said, there is more that can be done from the Web UI perspective as you can't delete or move files between folders, etc...Dropbox says they're going to beef up the Web UI soon so hopefully those features will be coming...

Dropbox Beta Invite!
Just got my Dropbox Beta in my email today and I can't wait to try it out! I'll blog from time to time about how it goes while I'm using it...
Gonna set it up on 3 machines. My laptop, home desktop, and work desktop...that should give me a good sense of what it can do...I'm even tempted to try to run a True Crypt file in it and see how well that works...
So far, set up was a snap and I was up and running in a few minutes...couldn't be simpler...
Impressive so far...

Twitter v FF
I like Twitter...but I love Friend Feed.
Twitter is like a 1st grade crush...Friend Feed is like your high school sweetheart.
Friend Feed is just as quick as Twitter but allows so much more in the way of media and comments...much more interactive and informative...
Yeah, it's not the prettiest or cleanest interface in the world but I imagine they'll improve on that...I'd like to see more 3rd party apps to make it better, ala twhirl, but I'm sure those will be coming soon, too...
I'm not going to stop Twittering but I can really see Friend Feed dominating in the near future...
